I'm using Dropbox to synchronize files between my MacBook and my iMac. My problem is, that Dropbox changes the file permission during synchronization from 0755 to 0644 and vice versa. And I'm wondering why.

I'm using Dropbox also to synchronize some git repositories and this gets anoying, because git always says, that the files permissions have changed.

So my question: Is there a way to prevent Dropbox from synchronizing the file permissions? Or any other ideas?
